What it covers

The four claims that sink unprotected employers.

Any one of these can cost six figures to defend — win or lose. EPLI pays the lawyers and the settlement so a single complaint doesn't become your problem.

Wrongful termination

A fired employee claims the dismissal broke the law or an implied contract.

Discrimination

Age, race, gender, disability, religion, pregnancy, gender identity, veteran status, and more.

Harassment

Hostile work environment and sexual harassment claims — including electronic and third-party.

Retaliation

The fastest-growing category — claims an employee was punished for complaining.

More than a policy

Coverage that comes loaded.

This isn't bare-bones EPLI. The program bundles real risk-management tools and brand-new 2026 protections most policies make you pay extra for — or don't offer at all.

HR Pilot® hotline

Unlimited calls to trained HR pros for any employment issue. Free for policyholders.

Compliant training

Online harassment-prevention training that meets California's 1hr / 2hr supervisor mandate — included.

Immigration defense

NEW 2026

$150,000 sublimit for immigration-related defense costs — added for 2026.

Workplace violence

NEW 2026

$150,000 sublimit covering workplace violence events — new this year.

Third-party claims

Covers claims from customers and vendors, including disability-access discrimination.

Full prior acts

New accounts with no current coverage are bound retroactive to inception — no gap.

California requires harassment training. We hand it to you.

Employers with 5+ employees must provide 1 hour of training to staff and 2 hours to supervisors, every two years. The program's HR Pilot® training meets and exceeds that — at no extra cost — so coverage and compliance arrive together.

If yes, we'll gather details — coverage considered but needs underwriter approval.
This can't be bound under the standard program. We'll still review it and shop it for you — submit and we'll follow up.

If no, the policy is bound with the third-party disability-access exclusion endorsement (EPL 3490).
No problem if some policies aren't in place yet — HR Pilot® helps you complete them within 30 days of binding. Keep going.
C · Claims & insurance history
If no, the policy is bound retroactive to inception (full prior acts).
A claim in the past 3 years means the standard program can't bind it — but we place EPLI outside this program too. Submit and we'll quote it directly.
Known potential claims can't be bound under this program. We'll review and shop alternatives — submit and we'll follow up.
